Re: Fuel system help (swap/compare) - Dead JH engine now.

Well it could be your head gasket, but someone came back from Volksfest back 
in august and did teh same thing you are describing (foamy oil colorant in 
coolant bottle, foamy oil coolant stuff all over the place, and he found out 
it was NOT his head gasket, but the oil filter cooler box that broke 
internally letting OIL into the coolant system, you might want to check that 
first since it right there and easy to check.
he changed it and did a flush of both systems oil and coolant and everything 
is running fine on his car (he was on highway.. but pulled right away.. 
seems the engine is fine.)

something to consider before pulling the head apart.

Well, Yesterday on the way to work the old tired JH decided to start
spitting oil out all over the inside of the engine compartment.  Firewall is
coated in nice fresh oil.  Now to make this more interesting the front of
the engine (and the rest of the forward engine bay) is coated with that nice
light brown sludge you get when the oil and water mix in your engine.

So, I figure best case scenario is a blown headgasket, but any ideas on why
the actual fresh oil out the back?  Can a head warp that much to let oil out
between?

Any ideas?  I am going to pull the whole thing out to have a look, but I am
not counting on anything easy :)

That being the case, it is probably time for a new hybrid engine :)

I am picking up a rebuild 2.1L Oetinger that has had a turbo attached and
NOS. (I know the guy was nuts trying to get it all to work).  So I want to
try and keep the turbo, but I need a fuel system (not expensive as this
engine is costing me enough as it is).

Anyone have experience with the Digifant-II on the old cabs?  I thought of
this first as it has the air flow sensor and fuel increases with air flow
right?  Any thoughts on good/bad things about this system?

Anyone ever seen the ND turbo setup the put on the '87 golfs that had cis-e?
Anyone know of a web site that has info on it (checked ND already and have
an email off).
